Either way, good score. 3 hours ago, Robert Olson said: I’m currently using my Rs-3ii as rear surround and rp-51 as surrounds do I put my rs-7 as rear surrounds or surrounds? Side surrounds of course. You want the better speakers in place where the most surround information is mixed and that is in the surround channels.

Do I dump the 51s or the ra-3iis Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It's generally recommended to have bookshelf or direct radiating speakers such as your 51s as rear surrounds. That said, I'm using wide dispersion-type speakers as rear surrounds and I really like them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
